Thank you for your feedback. I'm truly sorry you didn't receive a message that we were closed. The reason we ask for phone numbers is in case we need to notify of any schedule changes. On the date James was to play we have notes...More

This place is restaurant/wine shop/music stage all in one.

My husband and I stopped in to buy a couple of bottles of wine so we didn't get to sample the food but it looked crowded. They also planned to have live music that evening.
